  • TECHNICAL FIELD
  • The present invention relates to a mobile device and an optical imaging lens thereof, and more particularly, to a mobile device applying an optical imaging lens having five lens elements and an optical imaging lens thereof.
  • BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
  • The ever-increasing demand for smaller sized mobile devices, such as cell phones, digital cameras, etc. has correspondingly triggered a growing need for a small-sized photography module (comprising elements such as an optical imaging lens, a module housing unit, and an image sensor, etc.) contained therein. Size reductions may be contributed from various aspects of the mobile devices, which include not only the charge-coupled device (CCD) and the complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS), but also the optical imaging lens mounted therein. When reducing the size of the optical imaging lens, however, achieving good optical characteristics becomes a challenge.
  • U.S. Patent Publication No. 2011176049, U.S. Patent Publication No. 20110316969, and U.S. Pat. No. 7,480,105 all disclosed an optical imaging lens constructed with an optical imaging lens having five lens elements. The negative refracting power of the first image lens is not benefit to shorten the length of the optical imaging lens and sustain good optical characteristics.
  • U.S. Patent Publication No. 20120105704, U.S. Patent Publication No. 20110013069, R.O.C. Patent Publication No. 2012027044, and R.O.C. Patent No. M369459 all disclosed an optical imaging lens constructed with an optical imaging lens having five lens elements. The thickness of the fifth lens elements is thicker and unfavorable for shortening the length of the imaging lens.
  • U.S. Patent Publication No. 20100254029, U.S. Patent Publication No. 20120069455, U.S. Patent Publication No. 20120087019, U.S. Patent Publication No. 20120087020, and R.O.C. Patent Publication No. 2012013926 all disclosed an optical imaging lens constructed with an optical imaging lens having five lens elements. The sum of all air gaps between the lens elements is excessive. Meanwhile, the length of the optical imaging lens disclosed in U.S. Patent Publication No. 20100254029 is greater than 8.5 mm, and this is unfavorable for endeavoring slimmer mobile devices, such as cell phones and digital cameras.
  • How to effectively shorten the length of the optical imaging lens and how to provide good imaging quality are the most important topics in the industry to pursue the trend of smaller and smaller mobile devices. Therefore, there is a need to develop optical imaging lens with a shorter length, while also having good optical characteristics.
  • SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
  • An object of the present invention is to provide a mobile device and an optical imaging lens thereof. By controlling the convex or concave shape and/or the refracting power of the surfaces of the lens elements, the length of the optical imaging lens is shortened and meanwhile the good optical characteristics, such as high resolution, and system functionality are sustained.
  • In an exemplary embodiment, an optical imaging lens comprises, sequentially from an object side to an image side, first, second, third, fourth and fifth lens elements, each of said first, second, third, fourth and fifth lens elements having an object-side surface facing toward the object side and an image-side surface facing toward the image side, wherein: the first lens element has a positive refracting power, and the object-side surface thereof is a convex surface; the second lens element has a negative refracting power; the third lens element has a positive refracting power; the image-side surface of the fourth lens element is a convex surface; the object-side surface of the fifth lens element comprises a concave portion in a vicinity of the optical axis, and the image-side surface of the fifth lens element comprises a concave portion in a vicinity of the optical axis and a convex portion in a vicinity of a periphery of the fifth lens element; and the optical imaging lens as a whole having only the five lens elements having refracting power.
  • In another exemplary embodiment, other related parameters, such as a central thickness of a lens element along the optical axis and or the ratio among a central thickness of a lens element along the optical axis and the sum of all air gaps can be controlled to achieve good optical characteristics. For example, an air gap between the second lens element and the third lens element along the optical axis, G23, and an air gap between the fourth lens element and the fifth lens element along the optical axis, G45, could be controlled to satisfy the equation as follows:

  • 0≤G 23 −G 45 (mm);

  • 0.1≤G 23 −G 45 (mm); or

  • 0≤G 23 −G 45≤0.2 (mm).
  • For example, the sum of all four air gaps from the first lens element to the fifth lens element along the optical axis, Gaa, and a central thickness of the fifth lens element along the optical axis, T5, could be controlled to satisfy the equation as follows:
  • 2.3 G aa T 5 ; or 2.6 G aa T 5 .
  • For example, G23 and an air gap between the first lens element and the second lens element along the optical axis, G12, could be controlled to satisfy the equation as follows:
  • 2 G 23 G 12 ; or 2 G 23 G 12 7.5 .
  • For example, the total thickness of all five lens elements, ALT, and a central thickness of the second lens element along the optical axis, T2, could be controlled to satisfy the equation as follows:
  • 6.5 ALT T 2 ; or 6.5 ALT T 2 10.
  • For example, a central thickness of the second lens element along the optical axis is T2, and an air gap between the fourth lens element and the fifth lens element along the optical axis is G45, T2 and G45 satisfy the equation: 1.74≤T2/G45≤2.47.
  • For example, a distance (air gap) between the image-side surface of the fifth lens element and an image plane along the optical axis is BFL, and G45 and BFL satisfy the equation: 3.93≤BFL/G45≤5.39.
  • For example, a distance between the object-side surface of the first lens element and an image plan is TTL, a central thickness of the fifth lens element along the optical axis is T5, and TTL and T5 satisfy the equation: 10.29≤TTL/T5≤21.50.
  • Aforesaid exemplary embodiments are not limited and could be selectively incorporated in other embodiments described herein.
  • In some exemplary embodiments, an aperture stop could be further comprised for adjusting the light intensity entering into the system. The aperture stop is exemplarily but not limited to be positioned before the first imaging lens.
  • In some exemplary embodiments, more details about the convex or concave surface structure could be incorporated for one specific lens element or broadly for plural lens elements to enhance the control for the system performance and/or resolution. For example, the object-side surface of the third lens element could comprise a concave portion in a vicinity of the optical axis.
  • In another exemplary embodiment, a mobile device comprises a housing and a photography module positioned in the housing. The photography module comprises any of aforesaid example embodiments of optical imaging lens, a lens barrel, a module housing unit, and an image sensor. The lens barrel is for positioning the optical imaging lens, the module housing unit is for positioning the lens barrel, and the image sensor is positioned at the image-side of the optical imaging lens.
  • In some exemplary embodiments, the module housing unit optionally comprises a lens backseat comprising a first seat element and a second seat element, the first seat element is positioned close to the outside of the lens barrel and along with an axis for driving the lens barrel and the optical imaging lens positioned therein to move along the axis, and the second seat element is positioned along the axis and around the outside of the first seat element.
  • In some exemplary embodiments, the module housing unit optionally further comprises an image sensor base positioned between the second seat element and the image sensor, and the image sensor base contacts with the second seat element.
  • Through controlling the convex or concave shape of the surfaces and/or the refracting power of the lens element(s), the mobile device and the optical imaging lens thereof in exemplary embodiments achieve good optical characters and effectively shorten the length of the optical imaging lens.

  • Example embodiments of an optical imaging lens may comprise a first lens element, a second lens element, a third lens element, a fourth lens element, and a fifth lens element arranged sequentially from an object side to an image side, each of the lens elements has an object-side surface facing toward the object side and an image-side surface facing toward the image side. Example embodiments of the lens as a whole may only comprise the five lens elements having refracting power. In an example embodiment, the first lens element has positive refracting power, and the object-side surface thereof is a convex surface; the second lens element has negative refracting power; the third lens element has positive refracting power; the image-side surface of the fourth lens element is a convex surface; the object-side surface of the fifth lens element comprises a concave portion in a vicinity of the optical axis, and the image-side surface of the fifth lens element comprises a concave portion in a vicinity of the optical axis and a convex portion in a vicinity of a periphery of the fifth lens element; and lens as a whole having only the five lens elements having refracting power.
  • Preferably, the lens elements are designed in light of the optical characteristics and the length of the optical imaging lens. For example, the first lens element having positive refracting power and the convex object-side surface has better light converge ability. With an aperture stop positioned before the first lens element to work with the positive refracting power of the first lens element, the length of the optical imaging lens could be effectively shortened. The second lens element having negative refracting power could eliminate the aberration of the optical lens. The third lens element having positive refracting power is able to share the burden of the positive refracting power required in the optical imaging lens with the first lens element, therefore the sensitivity of the optical lens and inaccuracy in the manufacturing process is effectively reduced. With a further concave portion in a vicinity of the optical axis on the object-side surface of the third lens element, the aberration of the optical lens could be eliminated. The fourth lens element having the image-side convex surface could help for light converging. The fifth lens element having the concave portion in a vicinity of the optical axis on the object-side surface thereof and the concave portion in a vicinity of the optical axis and the convex portion in a vicinity of a periphery of the fifth lens element on the image-side surface thereof could assist in adjusting the curvature, reducing the high level aberration, and depressing the angle of the chief ray (the incident angle of the light onto the image sensor), and then the sensitivity of the whole system is promoted.
  • In another exemplary embodiment, other related parameters, such as a central thickness of a lens element along the optical axis and or the ratio among a central thickness of a lens element along the optical axis and the sum of all air gaps. For example, an air gap between the second lens element and the third lens element along the optical axis, G23, and an air gap between the fourth lens element and the fifth lens element along the optical axis, G45, could be controlled to satisfy the equation as follows:

  • 0≤G 23 −G 45 (mm)   Equation (1);

  • 0.1≤G 23 −G 45 (mm)   Equation (1′); or

  • 0≤G 23 −G 45≤0.2 (mm)   Equation (1″).
  • For example, the sum of all four air gaps from the first lens element to the fifth lens element along the optical axis, Gaa, and a central thickness of the fifth lens element along the optical axis, T5, could be controlled to satisfy the equation as follows:
  • 2.3 G aa T 5 ; or Equation ( 2 ) 2.6 G aa T 5 . Equation ( 2 )
  • For example, G23 and an air gap between the first lens element and the second lens element along the optical axis, G12, could be controlled to satisfy the equation as follows:
  • 2 G 23 G 12 ; or Equation ( 3 ) 2 G 23 G 12 7.5 . Equation ( 3 )
  • For example, the total thickness of all five lens elements, ALT, and a central thickness of the second lens element along the optical axis, T2, could be controlled to satisfy the equation as follows:
  • 6.5 ALT T 2 ; or Equation ( 4 ) 6.5 ALT T 2 10. Equation ( 4 )
  • Aforesaid exemplary embodiments are not limited and could be selectively incorporated in other embodiments described herein.
  • Reference is now made to equation (1). Equation (1) could effectively avoid from a large air gap G45 and G45 can be smaller because there is no edge resistance between the fourth and fifth lens elements due to the image-side convex surface of the fourth lens element. When G23−G45 is restricted in a range from 0 to 0.1, the length of the optical imaging lens could be shortened and the good optical characters could be sustained, but the edge resistance between the image-side of the second lens element and the object-side of the third lens element may be induced due to the smaller G23, therefore, preferably, equation (1′) is satisfied. Further, equation (1) could be limited by an upper limit to satisfy equation (1″).
  • Reference is now made to equation (2). As aforesaid illustration, since the fifth lens element is formed with concave portion in a vicinity of the optical axis in both object-side and image-side surface, T5 is possible to be thinner to shorten the length of the optical lens. Therefore, if equation (2) is not satisfied, it means the shortened T5 is smaller than Gaa, and this is not benefit to shorten the length of the optical lens. Preferably, equation (2) may be further restricted by an upper limit to satisfy equation (2′).
  • Reference is now made to equation (3). Equation (3) is benefit to the configuration for the position of the first, second and third lens elements. If equation (3) is not satisfied, it means that G12 is larger, and this makes the light emitting from the first lens element could not reach a proper height when it enters into the second lens element. Preferably, equation (3′) may be further satisfied.
  • Reference is now made to equation (4). Equation (4) is benefit to the configuration for the thickness of the second lens element and the rest lens element. If equation (4) is not satisfied, it means that T2 is relatively large. This is not a proper design since an effective diameter of the second lens element is smaller among all, the thickness of the second lens element is possible to be thinner. Preferably, equation (4) may be further restricted by an upper limit to satisfy equation (4′).
  • When implementing example embodiments, more details about the convex or concave surface structure and/or the refracting power may be incorporated for one specific lens element or broadly for plural lens elements to enhance the control for the system performance and/or resolution, as illustrated in the following embodiments. It is noted that the details listed herein could be incorporated in example embodiments if no inconsistency occurs.

Therefore, according to the above illustration, the optical imaging lens of the present embodiment indeed shows great optical performance and the length of the optical imaging lens 6 is effectively shortened.
  • Please refer to FIG. 26, which shows the values of G23−G45, Gaa/T5, G23/G12 and ALT/T2 of all six embodiments, and it is clear that the optical imaging lens of the present invention satisfy the Equations (1)/(1′)/(1″), (2)/(2′), (3)/(3′), (4)/(4′).
  • Reference is now made to FIG. 27, which illustrates an example structural view of a first embodiment of mobile device 20 applying an aforesaid optical imaging lens. The mobile device 20 comprises a housing 21 and a photography module 22 positioned in the housing 21. An example of the mobile device 20 may be, but is not limited to, a mobile phone.
  • As shown in FIG. 27, the photography module 22 may comprise an aforesaid optical imaging lens with five lens elements, for example the optical imaging lens 1 of the first embodiment, a lens barrel 23 for positioning the optical imaging lens 1, a module housing unit 24 for positioning the lens barrel 23, and an image sensor 171 which is positioned at an image side of the optical imaging lens 1. The image plane 170 is formed on the image sensor 171.
  • In some other example embodiments, the structure of the filtering unit 160 may be omitted. In some example embodiments, the housing 21, the lens barrel 23, and/or the module housing unit 24 may be integrated into a single component or assembled by multiple components. In some example embodiments, the image sensor 171 used in the present embodiment is directly attached to a substrate 172 in the form of a chip on board (COB) package, and such package is different from traditional chip scale packages (CSP) since COB package does not require a cover glass before the image sensor 171 in the optical imaging lens 1. Aforesaid exemplary embodiments are not limited to this package type and could be selectively incorporated in other described embodiments.
  • The five lens elements 110, 120, 130, 140, 150 are positioned in the lens barrel 23 in the way of separated by an air gap between any two adjacent lens elements.
  • The module housing unit 24 comprises a lens backseat 2401 and an image sensor base 2406 positioned between the lens backseat 2401 and the image sensor 171. The lens barrel 23 and the lens backseat 2401 are positioned along a same axis I-I′, and the lens barrel 23 is positioned inside the lens backseat 2401.
  • Because the length of the optical imaging lens 1 is merely 4.56 (mm), the size of the mobile device 20 may be quite small. Therefore, the embodiments described herein meet the market demand for smaller sized product designs.
  • Reference is now made to FIG. 28, which shows another structural view of a second embodiment of mobile device 20′ applying the aforesaid optical imaging lens 1. One difference between the mobile device 20′ and the mobile device 20 may be the lens backseat 2401 comprises a first seat element 2402, a second seat element 2403, a coil 2404, and a magnetic unit 2405. The first seat element 2402 is close to the outside of the lens barrel 23, and positioned along an axis I-I′, and the second seat element 2403 is around the outside of the first seat element 2402 and positioned along with the axis I-I′. The coil 2404 is positioned between the first seat element 2402 and the inside of the second seat element 2403. The magnetic unit 2405 is positioned between the outside of the coil 2404 and the inside of the second seat element 2403.
  • The lens barrel 23 and the optical imaging lens 1 positioned therein are driven by the first seat element 2402 for moving along the axis I-I′. The sensor backseat 2406 is close to the second seat element 2403. The filtering unit 160, for example an IR cut filter, is positioned on the sensor backseat 2406. The rest structure of the mobile device 20′ is similar to the mobile device 20.
  • Similarly, because the length of the optical imaging lens 1, 4.56 (mm), is shortened, the mobile device 20′ may be designed with a smaller size and meanwhile good optical performance is still provided. Therefore, the present embodiment meets the demand of small sized product design and the request of the market.
  • According to above illustration, it is clear that the mobile device and the optical imaging lens thereof in example embodiments, through controlling the ratio of at least one central thickness of lens element to a sum of all air gaps along the optical axis between five lens elements in a predetermined range, and incorporated with detail structure and/or reflection power of the lens elements, the length of the optical imaging lens is effectively shortened and meanwhile good optical characteristics are still provided.
